Oh you're just terrible. We know you had a happy ending (beginning?) but somehow you left out the part where you're supposed to tell us where you went! :eek:

I really loved this thread. A+

yeah, i hit the PM real quick. i thought it was intentional, but hey! we wanna know!

yeah it was awesome. all the tenents of a good rush thread: timely update, honest but not rude details, discreet where possible, interesting plot, and of course, a happy ending/beginning!

What a wonderful story. When I went through recruitment our school was past the religion issue, but many schools were still WASPy. I feel bad that you had to experience it but it sounds like you had a very happy ending.
What region of the country did you go to school?

I actually left out the sorority name on purpose. My point really was the truthful story with the hope that when girls write their stories that rushees (or pnms as they are now called) can learn what to do and not to do under real circumstances. And that if someone posts something about their rush that might not be so flattering about a house or chapter...learn from it and don't be afraid of retaliation if what you said is true, said in good taste, and has a possible benefit to the reader.

So: in full disclosure I will say: I am an alumnae of AEPhi. And I went to USC. (Southern California, not Carolina)

Thank you very much for posting your story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

It was so wonderful to read your story. Thank you for sharing that with us and how wonderful for you and AEPhi!

To the OP (and everyone else), if you haven't already read this rush story, please do so when you get the time because it's my wish that all rush stories could be like this (and like yours too!):

CurlyGirly's UF Experience

I highly recommend it. I'm thinking kdonline (CurlyGirly's HS Journalism teacher) recommends it too!

AEPhi must be very proud to claim you, ellebud! Thank you for sharing your story with us.

There's only a couple it could have been though, right?

She told us it was USC (California, not Carolina)

I was referring to the org - there's only a couple historically Jewish houses, right? So in "reading between the lines" we could clearly rule out several houses.

^^^ read back a few posts, she already says her affiliation.

^^ I know that, I was referring to when OTW asked what house she was in. I was saying that we could have easily speculated long before now.

Oh, Ellebud... you have effortlessly become one of my favorite posters!!! What a wonderful story so expertly told.

Just wanted to add my thanks for telling us your story. Sounds like it was really difficult with so much prejudice. I'm glad you found your home though. :)
